Wellington to Queenstown
Well where do i start. My tour is over now so i have the time to write on my blog again. This has been a really busy last 2 weeks with the tour but im done the tour and im heading to Oz on oct 23rd so i have a few days to relax :) Which is well needed.
Oct 11-12 Wellington
I arrived into Wellington, it was a busy city that had some of the rugby games held in there stadium. But the main games are in Auckland where i started my journey. Me and Mylene walked around the city and went to the Te Papa (which means "our world") and is a 7 floor museum. The top floor was a view of the city which was amazing. we saw the rugby world cup there, it was awesome got a picture beside it. They had some big guy watching it so no one would steal it lol. or touch it i guess. there was a line just to get a picture beside it. Also the Haka dance that the All Blacks do before i match, at the museum they had a theater where you can learn the dance. The thing i didnt know is that they were taping us and we could buy the video after i was crying i was laughing so hard when i watched myself lol. Clearly not a good dancer
At night went to Blends Bar with the contiki group for dinner then drinks. We played drinking games one called heads or tails. Pretty self explanatory, you put your hands on your head or your bum. And then sit down if you get wrong when they flip a coin. The winning table got free shots. Then we played a hubba bubba game. All the guys (so like 20) were standing on the bar and all the girls had to choose a guy to stand under. Didnt know what we were doing til we were all up there. So anyways we had to take a wrapped piece of gum and use our hands to put the gum from the bottom of the guys pants thru to the top of them and then unwrap the gum chew it til you could blow a bubble and the first to do so won free shots. My competitive side came out and had to win of course lol. Got free shots for me and Keirn! The rest of the night danced on the bar to Grease lightening, thong song lots of oldies, random songs lol. They would randomly spray the people on the bar with water hose from the bar.
Went Quad biking in the morning on the Kapiti Coast. it was awesome. Went thru a forest area and lots of rivers and muddy areas. It was the only time i was happy that it had just rained. Went bowling with everyone at night, it was good times, had beer and pizza.
Oct 13 Christchurch
Woke up at 615 am to head to Christchurch, we took a 3.5 hr ferry then a 5 hr bus ride to get there. me and anna (from england) walked around when we got there. They had 2 earthquakes in this area in sept 2010 and Feb 2011. It was totally deserted and not fixed yet and wont be for about 3 years they say. They insurance companies arent letting anyone bulid or fix anything. It was hard to believe this had happened to so many peoples homes. the only things that were fixed and normal was the police station, hospital and casino lol. YEAH i couldnt believe that everything on the street was ruined and a huge casino was opened. I thought of my grandma!! me and anna found a thai place on the corner of the street in a motorhome. It was lined up wiith people as there wasnt much more to choose from to eat in town. we did a tour thru the city the next morning, which was more info about what happened and what it was before the earthquakes.
Oct 14th Franz Josef Glacier
Went to do a helihike on a Glacier in the morning. Which is a helicopter ride and a 2 hours guided hike on a top of a glacier between 2 huge mountains ( i paid more to do this activity). It was the highlight of my trip so far and of my life. people were crying they were taken away with how beautiful it was up there. We got up there and no one talked for a while as we were all in awe of how amazing this place was. We saw random ice formations, hiked with spike shoes and walking poles up this glacier. The ice was bright blue at some parts. ill try to post pics soon my camera isnt working on this computer. We had a hot springs pool included in our tour after the hike which was really nice to relax and get warm again.
While driving we have seen mulitple places where they filmed the lord of the rings, and one place where they had the chronicles of narnia. Drove thru Arther pass which is one of the passes to drive thru to get from east of the island to the west. and it was the biggest one. which made it really windy on the roads and the scenery of tall amazing mountains. It looks like at home here alot but the mountains are bigger and are everywhere. Its so beautiful driving in the bus i cant stop looking out the windows.
Oct 15 to current Queenstown
We got to this beautiful place and stayed at the Aspen Hotel on the top of the mountain side. We had unreal views from our rooms and the hotel restaurant. Ive been lucky to stay in these nice hotels. Now im in Bumbles Hostel which is nice but with 6 people in it. Right now it was me and mylene and 2 guys from Ireland, but everyone left today. So unless ppl are booked for tonight i have it to myself.
Went out 3 nights in a row, to bars called World Bar, Winnies, buffalo club, frasers and Minus 5 (which was the ice bar, where we got uggs, jackets, hats, gloves and it was made all in ice and our glasses were in ice) we were only allowed in for 30mins as it was to cold to stay long. It was a neat experience. then did fire shots to warm up after which was peach schnapps and whiskey gross. This town reminds me of Whistler alot. Went to Milford Sound during the day one night and it was a long day. 5 hr bus there and back and a 2 hr Boat Cruise in Milford sound. the bus had huge windows and the roof of the bus was windows as well. It was worth seeing for sure but i was really tired of being on Buses for the last couple days. They had waterfalls, and million of seals along shore. They drove the boat in the waterfalls and some ppl didnt hear then say that they were doing that so they ran last minute from the deck ahah it was hilarious to see them getting wet.
WOW just so you know why my camera wasnt working i put the cord in the computer beside me and it was not the right one... Dumb Ass thought id share my blonde moment. but for my defence the wrong computer was closer to me lol.
Went for a last dinner with the contiki group to Winnies for Pizza and drinks. We chilled and played pool. it was a good night to say bye to everyone. In the moring we all went Jet boating down a river and then it then hugged everyone that was still on the tour as 10 of us finished our tour here and the rest back in Christchurch. Was sad to say bye but excited for my adventures to come :)
Me and Mylene (friend from Montreal) had a day and night together after everyone left. We walked around town went to Fergburger (which is GIANT burgers) we both got one and ate the whole thing i was so proud of us lol. And i was soo hungry after jet boating. We went for Thai food last night. And now its so sunny out so planning on renting a bike and ride around the sea wall. Maybe meet some new friends i hope!!!!
Talk soon,
Love you all Mieke

Auckland to Wellington
Hey everyone,
Bare with me as this is costing me alot to be using the computer lol.. Thats why i didnt write for a couple days. And might not be editing this for my spelling mistakes.
I met up with the contiki tour in Auckland my second day on my trip. Met alot of friends so far Mylene from Montreal canada is who i am sharing a room with and have been spending lots of time with. Also Amanda and Leanne from Toronto, Alex and Josh from Melbourne Australia, Emma from Perth, Kerin, Mona and Carina from Australia, Christina from Germany, Anna from England!!! Just to name a few. We are travelling with 45 people right now, which most of them are Australian. on a 50 person Contiki bus. So we are getting to know each other really well. Our tour guides are Sheree and Pumba (Nathan) and our driver is Mikey.
We drove to Waitomo first and it was a small town with a population of 48 ppl so we also doubled it when we arrived. I did a Ruakuri Cave tour which was to see the rock formations and glow worms (which are Maggots GROSS) but so cool looking a dark cave. Had an amazing dinner and then went to Curlys Pub to watch the Rugby games. Which its awesome to be here during the world cup :) everyone is crazy fans here. We watched French beat England the next night Oz vs South africa and then All black (new zealand) vs Argentina. I like sports but dont really know rugby so have been trying to follow it. i enjoy the excitement.
The hotels that ive been staying in are sooo amazing and all the meals included are sooo good. Im not going to like to ACTUALLY backpack later haha.
Drove to Rotorua (which means 2nd Lake- And thats cause when discovering this area it was the second lake that they found LOL, so creative) Here we went to the Agrodome where we learnt how to milk cows, sheep and all about the different sheep there is, and how to sheer a sheep. It was really neat but i felt like i could just go to my grandmas house lol. We drove to the Zorbing which i was super excited for before i left for my trip and its a ball that you go into down a new zealand hill. I went with alex and we went in the wet one together which they put soap and water it was so much fun :) Then went to Skyline Gondola where you can see the whole town of Rotorua and on the hill side we did the Luge tracks. Which is like go carts but no motors cause were gettgin the speed from the hills. It was fast but wicked. This town was full of Thermal pools and volcano sites. It smelt soooo bad (almost as bad as india amber lol) i had to plug my nose when i was sleeping. but they had a grave site where they bury the dead people above ground cause they cant have there bodies underground. There was steam coming up from everywhere and we went to mulitple sites. Really neat place.
Headed to Taupo and i did the Rock n' Ropes, something that is to get ruid of your fear of heights :( i was sooo scary for sure. people say its worse than bungy or skydiving. You walk on wires Logs and bridges just in a harness. I had to climb up a telephone pole and then leap from the top of it and try to catch a swing. i felt like i was at a circus lol.. Only me and one other girl could jump and get the swing. Minus all the boys but there was like 12 girls. I took pics but they might not justify the fear i was going thru feeling hardly tied in. and nothing under us. I did the big swing as well is close to bungy but in a swing. CRAZY for sure might be ready for bungy now. We went to Huka falls a waterfall and craters of the mooon which is a volcanic site that last erupted in sept 2002. The ground was soo warm thought it was soo cold out. The weather has been really cold but sometimes sunny (but there is still a wind) so ive not really packed for this as Australia will be summer for me. When i wake up i pretty much decide if i would like to wear my Blue sweater or my pink one haha... Such a hard choice i know. Amber this reminds me of you. Ive over packed too so have been deciding what to throw out next everytime i go to pack my things up. it seems as tho i cant close my luggage. Im throwing my hair spray/nailpolish out next lol. We had a dinner cruise at night time so went into town with some of the poeple and we had to get costumes that start with a M or P cause our tour guides names are Mikey and Pumba... So me, Mylene and Amanda found these Huge ties that said Mr.Perfect which was BOTH letters lol. And dressed as men with sunglasses and mustaches. It was funny. Others dressed as pimp, miney mouse, panda, mike tyson, pumpkin... All in all a good night,. Everyone was hung over for our bus the next morning one girl didnt get home til 730 am when our bus was leaving. One girl didnt last 5 mins before throwing up on the bus. Our bus was 5 hrs (the longest one yet) and it was a rough one haha.
The bus rides have been awesome we play theme song for our trip Flo rida sometimes every morning and usually we get up at 730am and we have to dance and sing everyday on the bus while they blar that song. Mickey drove in a round about with the bus til everyone was standing ahaha. we play games too. We set Josh up on a date with Leanne toniught. We answered a bunch of q's ona paper and not write our name and josh had to pick someone from what they wrote. We have code words for Sex which is Cup of tea haha. And when we are about to get to a destination Pumba plays a budlight commercial and a differ\ent on everytime.
Anyways im having an amazing time and am now in Wellington where we ahve a dinner tonight then im ATVing tomorrow morning. we are here for 2 days then head on a ferry to Christchurch the south island.
Love you all Mieks <3
and happy thanksgiving

First day in Auckland!!
Hey there,
I had a good day today but it was a little weird being here. Just trying to get used to travelling mode. I walked around the main city all day so i got my excercise for sure today :). Went to go eat dinner and didnt wanna make food my first night here so walked around and everything was over priced and i didnt wanna spend the money so i went to Mcdonalds lol. So spontanious i know lol. I had my usual Cheeseburger meal. They had a meal called the Mac n' Chick lol. It was a 1 big mac burger 1 chicken burger and a med fries and drink. I swear it was full of people that were backpacking. I fit right in!!
Nicole there was alot of travellers singing and playing there guitars on the street.. Soooo that means you can do that to make $$ and come travell lol.
While walking around i noticed that when you cross the street they stop all the lanes of traffic and let all the people cross at the same time. So people were crossing in the cross walks but also right in the middle of the intersection. It was crazyness but made sense at the same time.
So finally got my room. Which i paid $30 for the mixed dorm room and it has 4 bunkbeds and i randomly got 7 guys and me in the room :( lol they smell soooo bad. I actually had to leave the room at one point. But i meant 2 girls and 1 guy from Edmonton, in another room. 3 guys from holland but one of them is a crazy guy named Bart (just Bart he told us no middle names). He doesnt stop talking and knows like a million card tricks. i said Heckfademyeah to him and he was like WHAT?! i was like thats what my oma says to me and he said well she butchered that one... HAHAH
The weather is really sunny today but really windy i had like 4 layers on today and almost bought a scarf lol.
I walked to the sky tower to see if i wanted to bungy jump and it was sooo high i changed my mind. I went up 4 flights of stairs and still couldnt see the top of it and i was really high up. My fear of heights kicked in i guess.
Went window shopping and bought a sweater so i guess not window shopping lol. there styles here are alot different. Every 3rd girl is wearing ripped black nylons... and there are these mermaid dress everywhere that are short in the front and long in the back... Not liking those styles but somethings are cute but i cant carry anymore in my bag, my back already hurts from the weight.
Well thats all i guess, my tour is tmrw i hope its awesome...
